TO THE BOYS WHO WERE THERE. 



The publisher of this book has been creditably in- 
formed that during General Grant's administration, the 
Secretary of War detailed a corps of clerks to compile a 
list of battles, engagements, combats, and skirmishes of 
the Civil War. After the expenditure of thousands of 
dollars in its compilation, ten copies were printed for use 
in the various bureaus of the War Department. 

The Adjutant-General, taking one of these copies, said, 
"Mr. Secretary, here is the book. What do you think 
of it?" After a careful examination he commended the 
neat appearance, the quality of paper, and excellent exe- 
cution displayed. " Now, General, I am going to see 
if your book is complete." After a little searching, he 
said, " Your book is not complete." The Adjutant-Gen- 
eral answered with surprise, "Why so?" The Secretary 
replied, " I do not find any mention of a little affair in 
which I was interested. Let me tell you. At the breaking 
out of the war I had the honor to command a small body 
of troops, and one night, wl>ile in camp near the State 
line, a colored man reported that the enemy had a re- 
cruiting station at or near Athens, Missouri. I marched 
my men nearly all night with the colored man as a guide, 
and toward morning we surprised, attacked, and cleaned 
out their camp, having a few of my men wounded. Your 
book does not mention it. " 

To the question, " Did you report this to the Depart- 
ment?" the Secretary answered, "No. I was a lawyer

at the time, and did not know that such small affairs had 
to be reported." "Well ! your failure to do your duty 
as the commander of those troops is the only excuse that 
we have for not having it in our book. This is the first 
time I ever heard of it." 

The compiler of this book was fortunate enough to 
have one of the few copies of the book referred to, and, 
with this for a nucleus, has been for more than ten years 
adding to it from authentic as well as additional official 
sources. 

Many histories of the war have been published, and 
special attention is given to the story of the great battles, 
Shiloh, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Stone's River, Chancel- 
lorsville, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, Charles- 
ton, Fort Fisher, and Mobile, and then call it a history 
of the war. 

The hundreds of so-called minor affairs, the hurried 
scout by day and night into the enemy's territory, the 
sharp skirmish where the regiment suffered severely, while 
perhaps the same regiment held its place in some of the 
great battles without loss, the dangerous raids on lines of 
communication, these are the things lacking in many 
publications. 

The Departments recognize only data received through 
official channels. In this book facts are given, whether 
official or not, and we submit it unhesitatingly as the 
most complete compilation in existence to the "Boys 
Who Were There." 



This book is dedicated to every man, woman, or child 
who suffered that the Union might be preserved, and that 
"a government of the people, by the people, and for the 
people, might not perish from the earth. ' '

CORPS BADGES 



CORPS BADGES 

The adoption of a device to designate the organization to 
which a soldier belonged originated in General Philip Kear- 
ney's order, announced in May, 1862, that the officers and 
men of his division should wear a piece of red cloth on the 
front of the cap, to indicate that they belonged to his com- 
mand, and this device was called the " Kearney Patch." 

The continuance of its use after General Kearney was 
killed at Chantilly, Virginia, was authorized by General 
Orders, No. 49, Head-quarters of the First Division, Third 
Army Corps, Sept. 4, 1862, added to the customary an- 
nouncement of General Kearney's death, " to still further 
show our regard for him, and to distinguish his officers as 
he wisTied, each officer will continue to wear on his cap a 
piece of scarlet cloth, or have the top or crown-piece of cap 
made of scarlet cloth." — By order of General D. B. Birney, 
commanding. 

The story is current that, to comply with General Kear» 
ney's original order, the pieces of cloth were cut from scar- 
let blankets brought by the General from France. 

General Joseph Hooker, commanding the Army of the 
Potomac, issued, March 21, 1863, a circular concerning the 
adoption of original corps badges " for the purpose of 
ready recognition of corps and divisions of this army, and 
to prevent injustice by reports of straggling and miscon- 
duct through mistake as to their organizations." 

The corps were usually divided into three divisions, and 
the color of the badge was determined by the number of the 
division: — First division, red; Second, white; and the Third, 
blue, — the colors of our flag. When more than three divi- 
sions, green was used for the Fourth, and orange for the 
Fifth. 

The badges were placed upon brigade, division, and corps 
flags, also on the wagons, artillery, ambulances, and all other 
public property belonging to the corps. 

General Hooker's circular prescribed for the First Army 
Corps a sphere; for the Second, a trefoil; for the Third, a 
lozenge; and for the Fourth, an equilateral triangle. (This 
corps was disbanded before the actual adoption of the 
badge.) For the Fifth Army Corps, a Maltese Cross, and 
for the Sixth, a Greek Cross. 

The Seventh Corps, Department of Virginia, was discon- 
tinued before any order was issued concerning a badge. 
Major-General J. J. Reynolds, commanding the Seventh 
Corps, Department of Arkansas, issued a circular, June i, 
1865, giving cuts of the badge adopted, as a crescent par- 

267 



CORPS BADGES 

tially surrounding a five-pointed star, and might be worn 
by all enlisted men of the corps. 

The Eighth Corps, or Middle Department, used as its 
badge a star with six rays, but no order was ever issued. 

The Ninth Corps was the travelling corps, doing duty in 
the South, East, and West. General Orders, No. 6, dated 
April 10, 1864, is the first official announcement concerning 
its badge, and describes it as a shield with a figure nine (9) 
in the centre, crossed with a foul anchor and cannon. The 
order states that those who desired might wear a medal of 
the same design. General Orders, No. 49, dated Dec. 23, 
1864, required all officers and men of the command to wear 
the badge on the cap or hat. The design for this badge was 
suggested in the Seal of the State of Rhode Island — General 
Burnside's State. 

The Tenth Corps was for a considerable time on duty on 
the sea-board, and used its strength largely in the building 
or destruction of fortifications. In General Orders, No. 18, 
dated July 25, 1864, the trace of a four-bastioned fort was 
announced as the badge ; an appropriate selection. 

General Hooker's circular of March 21, 1863, prescribed 
for the Eleventh Corps a crescent, and for the Twelfth, a 
five pointed star. When the Army of the Potomac was re- 
organized in March 1864, General Orders, No. 10, an- 
nounced that the troops transferred should preserve their 
badges and distinctive marks. The combination of the First 
and Fifth Corps used as a badge for the new Fifth Corps a 
circle surrounding a Maltese Cross; the Sixth retained the 
Greek cross as its badge. 

No badge for the Thirteenth Corps, Army of the Ten- 
nessee, was ever announced in General Orders during the 
war; but at a meeting of the society of this corps, during 
the Twenty-first National Encampment of the Grand Army 
of the Republic at St. Louis, Missouri, September 28-30, 
1887, an ellipse, surrounding a canteen, having on one side 
a picture of General Grant, and on the reverse side the 
letters U. S., was adopted. 

The first official mention of designating the flags in the 
Department of the Cumberland (original Fourteenth Army 
Corps) was in General Orders, No. 41, dated December 19, 
1862, defining the flags for the different divisions of the de- 
partment; each flag to be attached to a portable staff. Gen- 
eral Orders, No. 91, dated April 25, 1863, announced the 
substitution of flags to be more plainly marked than those 
in use. General Orders, No. 62, dated April 26, 1864, re- 
scinded the order of April 25, 1863, and announced the 
badges of the different corps serving in the department, — 
the Fourth, Fourteenth, and Twentieth. Paragraph 2, of 
that order, reads, " For the purpose of ready recognition of 

268 



CORPS BADGES 

the corps and divisions of this army, and to prevent injus- 
tice by reports of straggling and misconduct through mis- 
takes as to organizations, the following described badges 
will be worn by the officers and men of all the regiments 
of the corps mentioned." For the Fourth Corps (formed 
by the consolidation of the Twentieth and Twenty-first 
Corps), an equilateral triangle (the same as announced for 
the Fourth Corps, Army of the Potomac, but never used). 

For the Fourteenth Corps, an acorn. This device, it is 
said, was suggested by the experience of this command 
during the fall of 1863. The roads were bad, and supplies 
could not be brought up. Near their camp was an oak 
grove, the trees loaded with acorns; here was a substitute 
for the delayed rations. The acorns were roasted or boiled, 
ground between stones, and made into a kind of bread; the 
men pinned the acorns on their breasts, cut them from coins 
and cloth, wore them as badges, and named themselves the 
" Acorn Boys." 

Before communications were established, these gifts of 
nature had become an important part of the ration, and, 
when the order came to select a corps badge, the acorn was 
chosen by acclamation. 

For the Twentieth Corps (formed by the consolidation 
of the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps), a five-pointed star, 
the old badge of the Twelfth. For some time men of the 
Eleventh Corps clung to the crescent, and used it in com- 
bination with the star — their new device being a crescent 
joining the two upper points of the star. 

General Orders, No. 10, dated Head-quarters, Fifteenth 
Army Corps, February 14, 1865, reads, " The following is 
announced as the badge of this corps: A miniature cart- 
ridge-box, black, set transversely on a field of cloth or 
metal ; above the cartridge-box plate will be stamped or 
marked in a curve the motto, ' Forty Rounds.' " 

An amusing incident is said to have suggested this badge. 
The story is that when the Eleventh and Twelfth Corps 
joined the Army at Chattanooga, Tennessee, naturally a 
spirit of rivalry sprang up between the boys of the East and 
the West. The latter spoke of the new arrivals as the men 
with " paper collars, crescents, and stars." Near the camp 
of the Eastern men was a division of the Fifteenth Corps 
lately arrived from Memphis. One of its members, a ready 
witted Irishman, seeing a group of the Twelfth Corps, said, 
"Are all you fellers brigadier-ginerals?" "No," was the 
answer. "Why do you ask?" " Shure, you all wear the 
star." Of course this raised a laugh, and called out the 
answer that the star was the Twelfth Corps Badge. Then 
the men wearing the star said, "What is your corps?" 
Straightening himself up with pride, the Irishman replied, 

269 



CORPS BADGES 

" I belong to the Fifteenth Corps." " Well, where is your 
badge?" "Badge, is it?" Clapping his hand on his cart- 
ridge-box, he said, " This is the badge of the Fifteenth 
Corps, — Forty Rounds." General Logan, hearing of this, 
and appreciating the wit and significance of the Irishman's 
Corps Badge, declared that this should be the badge of the 
Fifteenth Corps. 

No order was ever issued concerning a badge for the 
Sixteenth Army Corps. When it was decided by the mem- 
bers to adopt a badge, several designs were made, thrown 
into a hat, and by common consent the first drawn out was 
to be accepted. The drawing of this, as first issued, and 
shown on the old Grand Army Badge, was a circle crossed 
by two bars at acute angles. 

The publisher of this book was shown the original draw- 
ings, made by Brevet Brigadier-General John Hough, of 
General A. J. Smith's staff. The device was a circle, with 
four minie-balls attached to the circumference at equal in- 
tervals, the points towards the centre, the spaces between 
the balls forming a figure resembling a Maltese Cross with 
curved lines. This was the device adopted, and was called 
the " A. J. Smith Cross," in honor of the first commander 
of the reorganized corps. 

The badge of the Seventeenth Corps was announced in 
General Orders, No. i, dated March 25, 1865, as an arrow. 
In the order, General F. P. Blair, its commander, said, " In 
its swiftness, in its surety of striking where wanted, and in 
its destructive powers when so intended, the arrow is prob- 
ably as emblematical of this corps as any design that could 
be adopted." 

The badge of the Eighteenth Corps was announced in a 
circular dated June 7, and in General Orders. No. 108, 
dated August 25, 1864, Head-quarters of the Eighteenth 
Army Corps. This badge is described as a cross with foli- 
ated leaves. 

For the Nineteenth Corps, the design for a badge was 
announced in General Orders, No. 17, dated Head-quarters, 
Department of the Gulf, February 17, 1863, as a four-pointed 
star, resting on the appropriately colored flags, to denote 
divisions, and to be habitually displayed in front of the head- 
quarters they designate. This badge was never worn on 
the uniform. 

The design now known as the badge of the Nineteenth 
Corps was announced in General Orders, No. 11, dated No- 
vember 17, 1864, as follows: — A fan-leaved cross with an 
octagonal centre, or the St. Andrew's Cross. Brevet Briga- 
dier-General D. S. Walker, in a conversation with the pub- 
lisher, said. " We never fired a hostile shot under the Saint 

270 



CORPS BADGES 

Andrew's Cross, The battles of the Nineteenth Corps were 
fought under the flags with the four-pointed star." 

No orders were ever issued concerning a badge for the 
Twenty-first Corps. 

No ofificial order was issued concerning a badge for the 
Twenty-second Corps. This corps served continuously in 
the defences of the National Capital, and adopted as a badge 
a pentagon, the edge cut into five equal sections, and a circle 
described in the centre. This design seems to indicate a 
space inside of entrenched lines or defensive works. 

For the Twenty-third Corps a shield was used as a badge. 
It was adopted in the spring of 1864, but no order was 
issued. This corps was originally organized to form with 
the Ninth the Army of the Ohio, and these commands were 
intimately associated under General A. E. Burnside. This may 
have suggested the selection of a badge resembling that of 
the Ninth Corps. An official order concerning it is found 
in Special Orders, No. 21, Head-quarters, First Division, 
Twenty-third Army Corps, dated April 15, 1865, which 
directs that the " badges which have just been issued to this 
command will be worn on top of the cap and left side of 
hat." 

The Twenty-fourth Corps was composed largely of veter- 
ans from the white troops of the Tenth and Eighteenth 
Corps. The adoption of a heart as the badge was announced 
in General Orders, No. 32, Head-quarters, Twenty-fourth 
Army Corps, dated March 18, 1865. "The symbol selected 
is one which testifies our affectionate regard for all our 
brave comrades — alike the living and the dead — who have 
braved the perils of this mighty conflict, and our devotion 
to the sacred cause, — a cause which entitles us to the sym- 
pathy of every brave and true heart and the support of every 
strong and determined hand." 

The Twenty-fifth Corps was composed of the colored 
soldiers of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps. The adoption 
of the device of a square, with a small square set diagonally 
upon it, was announced in General Orders, Head-quarters 
Twenty-fifth Army Corps, dated Feb. 20, 1865. General Weit- 
zel, in this order, said, " In view of the circumstances under 
which this corps was raised and filled, the peculiar claims of 
its individual members upon the justice and fair dealing of 
the prejudiced, and the regularity of the conduct of the 
troops which deserve those equal rights that have hitherto 
been denied the majority, the commanding general has 
been induced to adopt the square as the distinctive badge of 
the Twenty-fifth Corps. Wherever danger has been found 
and glory to be won, the heroes who have fought for im- 
mortality have been distinguished by some emblem to which 
every victory added a new lustre. They looked upon their

badge with pride, for to it they had given its fame. Soldiers! 
to you IS given a chance, in this spring campaign, of making 
this badge immortal. Let history record that on the banks 
ot the James thirty thousand freemen not only gained their 
own liberty, but shattered the prejudice of the wodd and 
gave to the land of their birth peace, union, and glory " 

No order was issued concerning a badge for Hancock's 
First Corps, Veteran Volunteers. The badge used is thus 
described: A circle is surrounded by a double wreath of 
laurel. A wide red band passes vertically through the 
centre of the circle. Outside the laurel wreath, rays form a 
tigure with seven sides of concave curves. Seven hands 
springing from the circumference of the laurel wreath' 
grasp spears, the heads of which form the seven points of 
the external radiated figure." 

No order was issued concerning a badge for General Philip 
bheridans Cavalry Corps. Eariy in its service initiatory 
steps were taken to provide an appropriate device, but these 
were not ready for use until the summer of 1864. "This 
badge is described as gold-crossed sabres, on a blue field 
surrounded by a glory in silver." 

No order was issued concerning the badge of General J 
E. Wilsons Cavalry Corps. A badge was adopted, used 
and IS thus described: "A red swallow-tail cavalry guidon, 
with crossed sabres in the field, suspended from a rifle or 
carbine." 

T ?° ° T^^,*" ^^^, ^^^"^^ concerning a badge for General 
Judson Kilpatricks Cavalry Command. By tacit consent 
the device of a red swallow-tail flag with a small flag in the 
field, and on one of its streamers the word " Alice," on the 
other " Kilpatrick's Cavalry;" across the top three gilt 
stars, surmounted by an eagle. 

The Signal Corps used the device of two flags crossed 
over the handle of a blazing torch, the flags being used for 
signalling during the day and the torch at night. 

Section 1227, Revised Statutes, gives legal recognition to 
corps badges as follows: "All persons who have served as 
officers, non-commissioned officers, privates, or other en- 
listed men. in the regular army, volunteer, or militia forces 
of the United States, during the war of the rebellion, and 
have been honorably discharged from the service, or still 
remain in the same, shall be entitled to wear, on occasions 
of ceremony, the distinctive army badge ordered for or 
adopted by the army corps and division respectively in 
which they served."

MEMORIALS OF MILITARY SERVICE 

Read this carefully, it may be of great benefit to you or 
your family. 

On the outside of this book you will find a small sample 
of our Memorials of Service. The full size is sixteen inches 
wide and twenty-six inches long, and is lithographed in the 
best manner on heavy card-board. 

The centre panel is sunken, and is eight inches wide and 
thirteen and one-half inches long, which gives one hundred 
and eight square inches. 

On this panel is engrossed in an artistic manner, in alu- 
minum, the record of service of the soldier and of his regi- 
ment, beginning with the date of entering the service ; next 
the promotions, if any occurred; if wounded, the date and 
place of receiving the wound or wounds; if captured, the 
date and place of capture, the names of prisons confined in, 
also date of parole, exchange or escape, and the date of dis- 
charge or muster out. 

Then follows the name of the place where, and date when, 
the regiment was organized, the brigades, divisions, army 
corps, armies and departments in which it served, and how 
long it served in each organization and date of its muster 
out, followed by the service of the regiment, giving battles, 
engagements, skirmishes, movements and stations. 

This information is carefully compiled from the returns 
that are on file in the War Department and from other re- 
liable sources. 

You can get a full record from us and from no other 
source. 

You cannot get it from the War Department for ten times 
what we ask for our Memorials. If you think you can, try it. 

Your home is not complete without this information which 
the Government keeps for its protection. You are the other 
party interested, and you ought to have it for your protection 
and pleasure. There is no telling how valuable it may be 
to you and those who will care for your memory when dead. 

Surrounding this record are all the Corps Badges, form-

MEMORIALS OF MILITARY SERVICE 

ing a very pretty border, worthy of the gem it holds. It is 
in perfect taste, modest, and has the endorsement and pat- 
ronage of the best class of soldiers. We can send you thou- 
sands of testimonials from ex-president to ex-private. 
Probably no other article has been more highly endorsed. 

Each corps badge is numbered and represents from 50,000 
to 100,000 men, or 2,778,304 in all, comprising all the armies 
of the United States, formed into a hollow square. 

The colors — red, white, and blue — are the colors you fol- 
lowed to victory and represent the divisions : first division 
red, second division white, and third division blue. The 
eagle at the top represents the arms of the United States, 
and is on every soldier's discharge. Your money will be 
returned if our work is not satisfactory. We cannot af- 
ford TO FAIL TO KEEP THIS PROMISE. We have made this offer 
hundreds of times, and not once have we been called on to 
keep it. We will try it on you. 

Did you lose a friend or relative in the service, or have 
you lost one since the war? Do what little you can to pre- 
vent him from being forgotten in connection with that great 
struggle for the nation's life and for the liberties that we all 
enjoy to-day. 

An article that has merit enough to secure the patronage 
of such soldiers as Sherman, Sheridan, Logan, and Presi- 
dent McKinley is certainly fit for the home of any soldier 
in the country. These men paid from $50 to $100 for theirs, 
and they are now highly prized by their families. We ask 
you but $5, and that will be returned if our work is not satis- 
factory. So YOU RUN NO RISK. 

Very respectfully, 
ARMY AND NAVY RECORD COMPANY. 

For further information, address 

S. D. STRICKLER, Manager, 
1413 N. Nineteenth Street, 
Philadelphia, Pa. 

If you should prefer a roster of your company to the rec- 
ord of your regiment, we can furnish it, finished after the 
same design, giving the names of your comrades.

TESTIMONIALS 

We quote from only a few, and we could give thousands. 

Executive Mansion, 
Washington, June 15, 1897. 
The President has requested me to say that the order you 
executed for him was entirely satisfactory. 

JOHN ADDISON PORTER, 

Secretary to the President. 

From President Hayes. 

Your design for expressing, and method of preserving, 
the items of military service, meets with my hearty approval. 
Very truly yours, 

R. B. HAYES. 

From the widow of General Thomas. 

The more I look at the picture I ordered of you, illus- 
trating the life of Major-General Geo. H. Thomas, the more 
I am satisfied with it. It is beautifully done in every re- 
spect, and will be a source of great pleasure to me. 
Very respectfully, 

FRANCES L. THOMAS. 

The Memorial I ordered from you gives entire satisfaction 
to myself and friends. It gives me pleasure to commend it 
as a compact and pleasing method of transmitting to my 
children the record of military life. 

Very truly yours, 
P. H. SHERIDAN, Lieut.-General. 

From General Rosecrans. 

It may not be out of place to say that every individual to 
whom I have spoken and whom you have served, has given 
similar testimony of satisfaction. 

Yours truly, 
W. S. ROSECRANS," Register of the Treasury. 

I am very much pleased with the Memorial, and I would 
not part with it under any circumstances. 
Very truly yours, 
ANSON G. McCOOK, Secretary U. S. Senate. 

It gives the whole service in a compact form, is valuable 
to the soldier while living, and still more valuable to those 
who cherish his memory when dead. 

J. H. R. STOREY, 109 Penna. Volunteers.
